"Best Planning Tool for Social"
What do you like best about Buffer?

I love that I can easily move around posts. Life comes at me fast–one minute, my day is free, and the next, I'm suddenly working late tonight. Being able to find and curate content in Buffer that will be posted when I want it posted is HUGE for me. I also love that Buffer lets me use the best optimized time , or I can set the time for whenever my message needs to be sent out. What a help!

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I think there is room for grown in data and analytics. The feedback we get from Buffer isn't as helpful as I wish it could be–and honestly, in this day and age of real-time analytics, should be included (at very least in the paid subscription, which I use) for users of the platform.

What problems is Buffer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scheduling! My goodness, Buffer helps so much with keeping our schedule running, giving us alerts if a feed is out of posts, and helping keep my social media game taken care of.

"The only scheduling tool you need"
What do you like best about Buffer?

Buffer's concept is simple and straightforward, there's no extra features that bog it down which is what I like best. If you want an easy way to schedule your social media posts, Buffer is that tool. I like the calendar view where you can see empty timeslots and the ability to schedule the same link across different networks but customize the caption.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I wish the analytics were better or that their new analytics offering was included in paid plans. Sometimes the posting page errors and I have to reload it losing what I was doing.

What problems is Buffer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Retweeting with a scheduling, being able to see what posts are going to look like before you share them. The ability to pull images from a URL... It makes social media more consistent for me.

"Buffer is an excellent software. I recommend it to anyone working on Social Media"

It does what it should: schedule and publish posts across social media. However, I must admit that one of the key factors is their beatiful, clean layout. Also, they're updating and working on new features constantly.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

[Fixed] I could not tag separately for Facebook and Twitter. Now I can.

What problems is Buffer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I save time on Social Media that I can dedicate in other sftuff.

"Buffer "
What do you like best about Buffer?

I love Buffer’s ability to schedule posts in advance and let me immediately track the post’s influence through their insights tab.

What do you dislike about Buffer?

I dislike that there isn’t more support built into it, like a feature that helps you figure out what time is best to post for your audience and when you’re getting the best interactions.

What problems is Buffer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have solved the issue of my being constantly connected to my phone throughout the day and distracted by keeping an eye on the time constantly to post during the times I should be posting.
